In 2002 I've been working on series of black and white gestic paintings focused on time flowing.
I was thinking much of Barnett Newman and Gerhard Richter and my own visions.
Outside the usual paintings with left-to-right direction I made few playful experiments
like a little canvas with vertical >>richterized hills<

Like the clash of a sewing-machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table in 1920 on a photography by the artist Man Ray,
Bastian Goecke designed his „Wallscrewhanger“ as a synthesis of a screw and a clothes hanger with the handling of a
corkscrew: this one-piece hanger made of zinc-plated metal can be manually wall-mounted. What Goecke has established
is not only an item that carries clothing, but also a tool to carry out an attitude.
In the context of >>BLESS shop<< #19 in Mexico City – an exhibition-series set off by the design and fashion label BLESS –
Bastian Goecke has developed an object that implies functions for service and representation at the same time. Hereby
>>Wallscrewhanger<< illustrates how the presentation of fashion varies between showing art and offering commodities. By
pointing out this ambivalence the polyvalent character of the hanger itself is emphasized. Due to its plain design following
the classical clothes hanger’s form and its self-contained presence on the wall, „Wallscrewhanger“ simultaneously appears
as a sculptural object and a display which elevates clothes out of the ordinary. Between a feasible touch and a mere gaze
>>Wallscrewhanger<< subtly declares them a fetish. (Christina Irrgang)

Worldwide Carpets are rugs that are imprinted with aerial photographs. The image illustrates landscapes and architectural constructions - presented as a translation of the former Persian Carpets to the present time.
Worldwide Carpets refer to aerial photographs as they are presented by
software programs on the internet. From the abundance of pictures which virtually depict the globe and trace entire city structures in detail, the designer picks views from certain cities always referring to architecture and their city planning. As different levels of pattern appear - depending on the viewers point of view - the once chosen structure dissolves towards a disruption of its context and transfers the original photograph into a pattern.
David Hanauer takes up the ornament structures of Persian carpets for the composition of his patterns, while referring to recurring motives and patterns. The different scaled and imprinted carpets can be used individually or serially as floor covering.The designer documents the specific forms of existing city planning with the bird‘s eye view. Based on the generated vocabulary of forms, while also modifying the template, David Hanauer ties on the traditional ways of figurative story telling with the carpet being the image carrier.
WorldWide Carpets are not only everyday objects: they do as well report about the contemporary human being who is using the carpet.

Peter Schäfer: Tape Pot, brown tiled - adhesive duck tape, 22 x 26 x 26 cm, 2014
Adhesive tape thus far has mainly been known as a material for packing or repairs; but for Peter Schäfer, it is a kind of raw material like clay, glass or wicker, out of which you can easily form all kinds of containers, like bowls. The especially ingenious part is that each bowl is truly an original – even if the purely manual process were to be given over to machine production. (Text: Volker Albus)
